After setting out before dawn, traveling three and half hours north, and trekking through the woods in snowshoes, a trip to a bear den by students in Noah Perlut's Terrestrial Wildlife lab was almost a major disappointment. Instead, it turned out to be a rare and fascinating experience.

When checking in on the bears, wildlife biologists from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife (IFW) will approach the den and tranquilize the bears inside. This time, things did not quite go as planned.

"The female and her cubs ran off," explained Perlut, Ph.D., professor and assistant academic director in the School of Marine and Environmental Programs. "We were all quite disappointed. It seemed like we would not see bears."

Then, one of the IFW wildlife biologists spotted the cubs.

"They were at the top of a 50-foot tree," stated student Cameron Indeck (Environmental Science, '22). "We all came to the realization that this may be the closest we get to a cub."

"I was just happy to see a bear den up close," said student Nicole Corriveau (Environmental Science, '22). "I was ecstatic that I was seeing the bears up close in the tree and even more excited when one cub started climbing down."

As the cub inched down the tree closer to the ground, the IFW wildlife biologist was able to tranquilize it, giving the students the up-close experience they were hoping for.

"We were able to examine, touch, and pet the tranquilized yearling, which was amazing," Corriveau commented. "I got to feel her insanely thick fur, sharp nails, and long teeth."

The students watched as the IFW crew measured the 45-pound yearling cub and attached a radio collar to her. For more than 40-years, IFW has monitored the health of Maine's bear population, making it the longest running study of its kind in the country.

"The goal of the study is to understand female and cub survivorship and how factors such as food, development, and hunting affect that survivorship," said Perlut.

The students say the trip confirmed for them that things do not always work out as planned when out in the wild.

"It taught me that conservation is just as difficult as it seems," Indeck said.

Corriveau added, "It was awesome to see how members of the bear crew from IFW quickly responded to the constantly changing factors in the woods. I also learned a lot more about IFW, an agency that I really want to work for one day."

Both students say it was an experience that they will not soon forget.

"At the end of the day I couldn't stop telling my roommates, friends, and teammates about how awesome this trip was," Corriveau said.

"It was a rollercoaster of an experience and definitely once in a lifetime," Indeck exclaimed. "I will be talking about this trip forever."

Hannah Korper jokes that she knows more about kelp than she ever thought she would.

The Class of 2022 marine biology student has spent her senior year working in the lab of Carrie Byron, Ph.D., associate professor in the School of Marine and Environmental Programs at the University of New England, as part of a large-scale project to study the food safety aspects of various seaweeds.

Seaweed is considered a "raw agricultural commodity" by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and is therefore not well regulated. Korper's research involves recording the temperature of Maine seaweed harvesters' crops for food safety considerations.

The storage and duration of seaweed can impact the safety of edible seaweeds, Korper said, as warmer temperatures could potentially lead to higher pathogen replication and microbial growth.

With funding from a UNE Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) grant and the Aquaculture Research Institute at the University of Maine, Korper has been working with seaweed harvesters across the state to measure the temperature of their crops after they are harvested and before they are processed into consumable products. This past summer, Korper distributed temperature logging devices to harvesters - which record the temperature of the seaweeds compared to the ambient air temperature - and trained harvesters on how to use the tools.

The ongoing project will collect data that will be useful in developing handling protocols for food safety, Korper said.

"Most seaweed is blanched after it's harvested, and most microbes are killed before consumption so that food safety isn't of much concern," Korper said, explaining that fresh seaweed has a short shelf life and that, if it is to be stored any amount of time, it needs to first be processed in some way. "But we wanted to collected this data to see if there are best practices for seaweed harvesting and storage. The data we collect can help inform when temperatures might become a concern during the storage process."

Growing up by the sea, the Killingworth, Connecticut, native knew she wanted to become involved in research as part of her undergraduate studies, but Korper did not know how far her research would take her.

"I had no idea where this project was going to go, but it's been a very exciting opportunity," she remarked. "Getting to meet with seaweed harvesters one-on-one was probably the coolest part, because they were so accommodating to me and showed me their business operations. It's been amazing to see how my research is helping the industry and to learn from the industry professionals."

As a result of her work, Korper has been invited to sit in on meetings of the Maine Seaweed Council, a group of seaweed harvesters, researchers, processors, business owners, and associates that strives to protect Maine's marine algae ecosystems; develops and adheres to sustainable cultivation and harvest practices; promotes the use of Maine seaweeds; and educates the public, regulators, and elected officials about the industry.

Many of the council's members are the harvesters with whom she works, Korper said. At the council's meetings, Korper and several graduate students working in Byron's lab provide updates to the council on their research and gain valuable feedback from council members on how to improve their work.

"It's been really valuable to sit in on the Maine Seaweed Council meetings because I get to hear from people who are experts in this industry," Korper remarked. "It's such a unique thing for an undergraduate student to do."

Byron remarked that Korper's work is vital to Maine's growing seaweed industry as it was requested by the seaweed harvesters themselves who want the data to inform best practices for seaweed handling.

"Hannah has been instrumental in advancing this research - research that was requested by seaweed harvesters - because there are a wide range of harvested species, techniques, and handling practices across the industry," Byron said. "It is important data to consider as the industry continues to grow in Maine."

As for Korper, her research will continue, even after she graduates from UNE this May. In the meantime, she will be distributing more temperature loggers to seaweed harvesters and is already training other undergraduate students on how to keep the study going. She also hopes to present her research - pandemic disruptions pending - at the Northeast Aquaculture Conference and Exposition in Portland in April and is already in the process of applying for graduate studies.

"This project became a lot bigger than I ever expected, and it's only really just getting started," Korper reflected. "I'm very proud of the work I've done so far, and I can't wait to see where this research takes me."

The Woods Hole Partnership Education Program is accepting applications for the 2022 summer undergraduate research internship program. Based in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, PEP combines course work with research in marine, oceanographic, biological, and environmental sciences.

"We are excited to call for applications for our fourteenth PEP class, and we hope to be able to bring the 2022 class to Woods Hole for the wonderful experience of studying and working in the science village," said Onjalé Scott Price, co-director of the PEP internship. "But since we provided a virtual program in 2020 and a hybrid virtual/residential program in 2021, we know that we will be able to offer a good program whether or not we can safely gather in person."

The PEP staff will visit campuses to meet potential applicants in January and early February, if pandemic conditions permit. They are available now via Google Meet video conference to answer questions and to talk with interested students and faculty To make an appointment, contact PEP co-director George Liles,

Launched in 2009 as a residential program, PEP is designed to promote a diverse scientific community. It recruits talent from all backgrounds, but especially from minority groups that are under-represented in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) research. Six science institutions in Woods Hole, Massachusetts sponsor PEP in partnership with the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.

"We now have 197 PEP alumni who came to us from 109 colleges-more than half from 33 Minority Serving Institutions and Historically Black Colleges and Universities," said Liles. Liles is not only PEP co-director but also director of our science center's Academic Programs Office. "Many PEP alumni have stayed on or returned to study and to work in the village of Woods Hole," said Liles.

The 2022 Program

The program includes a 4-week course and a 10-week research internship. When the program is offered residentially, interns also go on a 5-day ocean research cruise aboard the Sea Education Association (SEA) tall ship SSV Corwith Cramer. A mentor guides each student during their research project, and a program advisor provides guidance, support, and career advice during the summer.

The Residential Program

If PEP is offered as a residency program, the students will live together on the SEA campus and participate in career-building activities such as seminars, workshops, and field trips. They will attend lectures at partner science institutions throughout the summer, and participate in local community activities.

"The SEA staff looks forward every year to the arrival of the PEP students," said Peg Brandon, president of Sea Education Association. "We were happy to be able to welcome the 2021 PEP class for 10 days in August, and we hope to be able to host the 2022 class for the full 10 weeks of the program, including a research cruise aboard the SSV Corwith Cramer."

The research cruise gives students a taste of life at sea, and an opportunity to learn to sail and to gather oceanographic and biological data that they later use in their course work.

Virtual Programming, If Necessary

If PEP is unable to bring students to Woods Hole for an in-person experience for the 2022 year, students can expect a worthwhile virtual experience.

Required Course

The required course is Ocean and Environmental Sciences: Global Climate Change. It is offered for credit through the University of Maryland Eastern Shore and runs from June 6 to July 1, whether the program is residential or virtual. This course:

Is interactive

Based on discussion rather than lecture

Has guest speakers

Includes a mini-research project using cruise data collected aboard the SSV Corwith Cramer

Focuses on coding and computational skills to prepare students for the research internships

If the program is virtual, students can expect the research internships to be mostly computational, requiring some computational and coding skill. These skills are not required for students to apply, as PEP will provide computational support and tutoring during the program.

Applicant Information

Designed for college undergraduates, PEP prioritizes college undergraduates, with priority given to rising juniors and seniors who are majoring in:

Natural sciences (biology, chemistry, physics, or geosciences and earth system sciences)

Engineering

Mathematics

Social sciences

Applicants should also have completed some coursework in oceanography, biology, or marine and/or environmental science.

The decision on whether the program will involve residency in Woods Hole will be announced no later than May 1, 2022.

Whether in-person or virtual, the 2022 PEP program will run June 6 through August 14. Participating students will receive a $5,000 stipend, and course tuition will be covered. If the program is residency, travel and room and board will also be fully covered.

Application deadline is February 11, 2022. The 2022 PEP Class will be announced in mid-March.
Application information and reports on previous programs
Students of all backgrounds are welcome to apply for PEP. Students from groups under-represented in marine and environmental sciences are especially encouraged to apply. This includes African American, Hispanic American, Native American, Asian Pacific Island, and Alaska Native students.

PEP II Also Offered

The 2022 program will include a limited number of PEP II openings. These are reserved for individuals who have completed PEP in a previous summer who want to return for a second summer of research. The PEP II researchers may continue the work they did with their original mentors or they may be matched with new mentors for new projects. The PEP II researchers will live on the SEA campus and present their work in a public symposium in August. In addition to their research projects, PEP II researchers will participate in an education/outreach project to develop curriculum and/or education tools in partnership with educators from local public schools. To apply, contact PEP co-director Scott Price.

More on the PEP Program

PEP is a project of the Woods Hole Diversity Initiative. Participating institutions are:

NOAA's Northeast Fisheries Science Center

University of Chicago Marine Biological Laboratory

Sea Education Association

U. S. Geological Survey

Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution

Woodwell Research Center

The Woods Hole Diversity Initiative's primary academic partner is the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.

The search is onfor New England's emerging young artists who are exploring innovative ideas around sustainability through their work.

The Tidal Shift Award aims to leverage the power of socially-aware artworks, awarding and platforming teenagers and young adults who are focused on solutions for climate change.

We are currently accepting submissions of artworks that relate to the climate crisis through theme, subject matter, solutions, and more. Together, we can showcase the artists and artworks that can influence, motivate, and galvanize our communities to do more to address our environment.

The Tidal Shift Award is open to all young artists in the New England region (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont, and the Abenaki, Maliseet, Micmac, Mohegan, Narragansett, Nauset, Nipmuc, Passamaquoddy, Pennacook, Penobscot, Pequot, Wabanaki, Wampanoag, and Woronoco nations) between the ages of 14 and 22, to create a work of art contemplating an issue and/or a solution to a crisis facing your community resulting from climate change.

Participants can use any medium (e.g. painting, printmaking, photography, sculpture, video, all works of paper) and young artists of any ethnic or racial identity, gender identity, sexual orientation, and ability are encouraged to apply.

Cash prizes will be awarded in two divisions (three (3) prizes awarded per division):

Division 1: Ages 14-18

Division 2: Ages 19-22

The Tidal Shift Award is a juried competition comprised of leaders in the field of science, advocacy, academia, and the arts, who believe we need new ways to address a crisis that is otherwise too easily ignored.

DARREN RANCO
Darren Ranco is the Chair of Native American Programs, University of Maine, and as a member of the Penobscot Tribal Rights and Resources Protection Board since 2012, has been developing research collaborations with the Wabanaki Tribal Nations in Maine and ensuring the protection of Wabanaki Cultural heritage.

DAVID REIDMILLER
Dr. Dave Reidmiller is the inaugural Director of the Climate Center at the Gulf of Maine Research Institute (GMRI) where he works to raise awareness of how climate change affects people throughout the Gulf of Maine region-and what they can do about it.

Why The Tidal Shift Award?

The Tidal Shift Award is a result of a partnership between the Portland Museum Of Art and The Climate Initiative.

Over the last five years, The Portland Museum of Art has worked to reposition the museum a leader in Maine's cultural, economic, and environmental future, investing in DEAI actions while promoting an Art for All mission. Its hope has long been to center Maine and New England as a place that brings new ideas, people, and communities together. In order to achieve this goal, the PMA has made sustainability a core tenet driving its Strategic Plan.

The Climate Initiative believes youth are key to solving the climate challenge because they influence and foster climate concern among their parents, communities, and decision-makers. Their goal is to develop a cohesive youth voice that influences decision-makers to embrace climate solutions. TCI aims to educate, empower and activate 10 million youth to reach this goal by 2025.

Art's ability to inspire social change can be harnessed to fight climate change.

From our beloved rocky shores and pristine waterways to our vast wilderness and open terrain, New England's natural beauty has long been our calling card.

For the communities who call our region home-whether fishing villages along the coast, small downtown districts, large city centers, or destinations "upta camp"-everything that makes New England special is connected to our environment.

Our region is acutely at risk due to climate change. Maine's seas are warming faster than 99% of the entire ocean. Rhode Island is implementing sweeping climate change legislation. And Vermont is preparing for future migration as a result of climate change. Some future changes are inevitable, but with prompt action, many of the most extreme consequences of climate change could be avoided or their worst impacts reduced. The time for action is now.
